  • Ferrothorn can't learn Toxic Spikes, FYI, so you're best off with:
    -Stealth Rock/Spikes
    -Leech Seed
    -Power Whip/Protect
    -Gyro Ball/Thunder Wave/Protect
    Nature: Relaxed
    EVs: 252 HP/48 Def/208 SDef
    Item: Leftovers

    Use Bold and this EV spread on Jellicent: 248 HP/216 Def/44 Spe.

    For some reason, I feel that Yanmega is a bit out of place because of its common weaknesses. I'll see if someone can suggest a replacement, but if you want to keep it, use this set to take advantage of Tinted Lens:
    -Bug Buzz
    -Air Slash
    -Hidden Power (Ground)/Giga Drain
    -U-turn
    Nature: Modest/Timid
    EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Specs
    Ability: Tinted Lens

    How about this set for Blissey? It needs Flamethrower more than it needs Ice Beam, though. It can also use Seismic Toss for more consistent damage:
    -Aromatherapy
    -Softboiled
    -Seismic Toss/Flamethrower
    -Toxic
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Natural Cure

    Salamence outclasses Dragonite as a fast offensive sweeper, so it's best with a bulky set:
    -Dragon Dance
    -Dragon Claw/Outrage
    -Fire Punch/Earthquake
    -Roost
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 HP/44 Atk/212 Spe
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Multiscale

    Since 2 of your Pokemon are weak to Stealth Rock, how about Hitmontop as a Rapid Spinner to get said hazard off?:
    -Rapid Spin
    -Close Combat
    -Foresight/Toxic
    -Stone Edge/Sucker Punch/Rest
    Nature: Impish
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Intimidate

    The reason why Tinted Lens is preferred on the Specs set is that:
    1. It's counterproductive with Speed Boost. If Yanmega is up against a Pokemon that can counter it, it may be forced to switch, erasing the Speed boosts it accumulated.
    2. Bug/Flying is normally a poor offensive typing walled by many Pokemon. Tinted Lens doubles the damage resisted attacks do, so Bug/Flying now essentially provides flawless coverage.

    If you're using Speed Boost Yanmega, use this:
    -Protect
    -Bug Buzz
    -Air Slash
    -Hidden Power (Ground/Fire)
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb
    Ability: Speed Boost

    Edit: Aromatherapy cures the status problems all your Pokemon have, even the ones not in battle.
